I've Got the "Itis"

Shortly after my flight home from Texas, I began to feel a scratchy throat. Last Wednesday morning, I woke up feeling awful. My scratchy throat morphed into a major cold over the weekend. I have been coughing up a storm and my throat and back and neck completely ached. I skipped church on Sunday and called in sick to work on Monday.

I went into work today and was diagnosed by my pediatrician (my boss) with two illnesses! I have bronchitis and conjunctivitis which translates to a crummy cough and pink eye. This further translates for a pregnant lady to Robitussin and eye drops, neither of which are supposed to cure me, but are supposed to mask the symptoms for 3-4 hours at a time.

I am miserable and I blame this on Texas. (or atleast Delta airlines)

To make it worse, I am home alone and have no one to whine and complain to - so I have brought my complaints to the blog world!

Here's a picture of one of my eyes...Again, I took this myself since my photographer/husband is out of town. I know I need to have my eyebrows waxed, but I am guessing they won't do it whilst having pink eye. And I can't really wear eye makeup b/c of all the irritation, so it's ok if you don't recognize me if you see me this week.

That sounds miserable. For some reason the picture isn't showing up for me... must be my horrible computer. But I'll take your word for it. Hope you feel better soon... if I were closer I'd bring you some chicken soup.

My eyes are still watering from looking at your picture. Yikes, I hope you get better soon!
